The food's decent, the wine list is good for the area, and the drinks aren't extortionate at this restaurant and lounge in the basement of the Hotel Giraffe. If you think that review's boring just wait until you go here.
History
The Giraffe outlived the restaurant
Barna, in the Hotel Giraffe, has closed1. By June 2011 the address, 365 Park Avenue South, had Bread & Tulips, a "refined-rustic" Italian joint2. Since 2024 it has been home to Audace, Italian fine dining with a rooftop and a cocktail bar3, 4. The Giraffe itself is still standing at Park Avenue South and East 26th Street5.
